Chester Ray Mills

Booty and family,
It's interesting reading through this book that most everyone had some mention of Ray's smile. It was
contageous and if he ever frowned i
was not there to see it.
My many good memories of Salem and of
Front St and the Church always include
Ray; the Barnetts and the Heltons.
Booty, you will best understand the
deep and lasting appreciation we have
for the kind and loving manner which
Ray and yourself extended to my...

Dear Aunt Booty and Family,
I am so sorry that I was unable to come in but both mama and myself hoped and prayed that the Good Lord would get us in, but for reasons only He knows, we didn't get to come. My prayers and my thoughts have been with you ever since mama called me. Elinor called me also. I will always remember the last time that you all were at Granny's and mama was there and we had such a good time and I remember the time you came for her birthday. I know Granny was glad to...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Booty, Tim, Sara and Joey,
My deepest sympathy in the loss of Ray. My fondest memories of childhood are all from Keesling Avenue with the Mills' and the Thompson's. I tell my daughter a story often of being able to hear Ray laughing from his house to our's. Always in the summertime, sometimes, we could also hear him playing the organ! I remember his joy for life and contagious smile. Keith often called him "Chester" and it always cracked me up. I am sure he would enjoy that now.
I...

Dear Aunt Booty, Tim, Sara, Joey & family,
I just wanted you to know that I tried my best to be there. I also wanted you to know my heart, love, body and soul will be with you today although I physically won't be. My heart and prayers are with the whole family. I said a Rosary for Uncle Ray and the family this morning and lit a candle. I will light another candle at 11:00 am. The family has lost a most bright and shining star and a candle that burned so ever bright, when the Lord called...

Booty, Sara and all of the Mills family, I was so sorry to read of Rays passing. He was a very special person and he will be greatly missed. The Mills family along with Brian Guthrie & my grandaughter, Jenni have had so much sadness & loss in these past 2 years. You are all in my thoughts & prayers. Trust in the Lord. I know Ray is in His presence and light. God Bless and comfort all of you. With Love, Ruth Perdue Sturgill Traficanti

BOOTY, MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY AT THIS TIME. RAY WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON AND WILL BE MISSED BY MANY. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. LOVE, DORIS

Booty, Sara, Tim, Joey and family,

You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Our family thought the world of Ray-he was one of the best people we knew. I have fond memories of Wednesday night Bible study with Ray. He was such a character and his presence will be missed. May the Lord comfort you all during this difficult time.
In Christian Love,
Tami and Al Jennings and family
